Trigger ? How to keep it from firing more than once in a given ammount of time.
|
I'm new to creating triggers, but I would like to make a trigger that fires on an event, but if the mud displays the text to fire the trigger more than once in 15 seconds I only want the trigger to fire once.
Example:
Tony looks at you.
(trigger fires) wave Tony. (you wave at tony)
Tony looks at you.
(trigger is on timer, and can't fire again).
That's what I want to accomplish.... in a nutshell. |

| Code: |
#trigger {Tony looks at you.} {#t+ WaveAlarm}
#alarm "WaveAlarm" {*1} {wave Tony}
#trigger {You wave at Tony.} {#t- WaveAlarm}

But how long will that keep it from going off?
Say i want it to work again in 15 seconds, but not before...
that looks like it would make it not work again for ever. |

That sounds better, thanks Erasmus
What are the {} {} for, i don't understand why they are needed, or what they do. I'm trying to advance my knowledge of triggers so I can make more complex ones in the distant future. |

The {} {} are placeholders. If you check out the help file for triggers the syntax is something like:
#TRIGGER "optional_but_useful_trigger_name" {Pattern you want to match} {script you want to execute} {Trigger Options} "Class"
The first {} is a placeholder for the pattern match. Using a blank {} will either match the trigger immediately, or when the next line is received from the mud regardless of what is on the line (can't remember which). The second {} is a placeholder for the script that basically says "do nothing when the trigger fires". |
